The rivalry between former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis escalated yet again Wednesday.
A pro-Trump super PAC publicized a letter it sent to the Florida Commission on Ethics alleging a series of violations by the state’s governor. Chief among them: Because DeSantis has not declared himself to be a candidate for president, the governor is improperly benefiting from campaign contributions and other political gifts, the letter says.
“DeSantis’ failure to declare his candidacy is no mere oversight; it is a coordinated effort specifically designed for him to accept, as unethical gifts, illegal campaign contributions and certain personal benefits that are necessarily intended to influence his official decision to resign from office under Florida’s resign to run law,” reads the Tuesday letter from Taylor Budowich of Make America Great Again Inc.
